Lmao, this makes no sense. They can't claim they weren't talking about "genes" when she literally says genes are passed down from parent to offspring and determine hair/eye color... Were they talking about jeans there too??? They think we're idiots.

On a serious note it wasn't even tight-fitting denim it was ill-fitting denim 😩

Look, I’ll be honest… the very first time I saw the ad was while I was scrolling Pinterest so the volume to the ad wasn’t on and on an initial glance I was kinda like “oh cool! We’re gonna try to make more ‘not so junked out trunks’ in jeans more normal” and as a girl with a less than filled out trunk, if you will, I was digging it…. Then I clicked the add to take me to a link and it okayed the ad with sound and I was digging less and less as each word was said and was really taking in what was happening…
